Novell IPX Configuration 79
This Prestige must then be configured as a Seed Router, and the
network number can be configured in the Ethernet Setup
Menu. The network number must be unique and not used
anywhere else on the entire internetwork.
IPX Spoofing
The Prestige comes with several pre-defined call filters
designed to prevent certain IPX packets from triggering a call
to a Remote Node. These filters should inform your Prestige
which packets should be ignored as traffic.
When you are routing IPX packets, the default call filters are
defined as follows:
• Block periodical SAP and RIP response messages.
• Block NetWare serialization packets.
• Allow SAP and RIP inquiry packets.
These call filters prevent the Prestige from making a call to the
Remote Node, thus preventing the expense of an unnecessary
phone call.
